EASTER AT FIRST PARISH OF NORWELL

Bring your whole family for breakfast served before church Easter morning, April 21, from 8:45 to 9:50 am. The cost is $3.00 per adult/$2.00 per child and a max of $10 per family but don’t ever let cost stop you from joining us.

Following the Easter Breakfast, Rev. Lise will be leading our traditional Easter worship service at 10 am. Her sermon is titled "Easter and the Coming of Persephone". Music Director Gingy Grimes and the choir will be presenting beautiful music, including a solo by Jeff Angley and viola music performed by Frank Grimes.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Last call! We’re in the closing days of our “Returns for Planet Earth” campaign. The program ends this Monday on Earth Day, April 22 . Please bring in those “returnables” of empty bottles and cans ( carbonated soft drink, beer, malt beverage, and sparkling water bottles & aluminum cans) that have “MA” and “5¢” markings. Please contact Les Taylor with any questions you have at (781) 837-2929 or via email.

Campfires are back! After a long New England winter comes a colorful New England spring with its warm days and cool nights (sounds like fall!). It’s time to start our Friday night campfires in the lower parking lot here at church. We will start Friday, April 26. We’ll start at 6:30 pm. Bring a chair, a blanket and your winter stories of holiday events and power outages. S’mores and hot chocolate provided. See you at “the campfire”.

Save the date! Once again, the silver chalice of golfing superiority is back up for grabs. The annual First Parish Golf Tournament is Saturday, May 18 at Squirrel Run Golf Course in Plymouth. Gather at 12:30 and tee off at 1:00. $100.00 per golfer includes dinner in the Parish Hall of steak or swordfish. Come to dinner only for $25.00. BYOB. Corporate sponsors needed at $50 per hole. Sign up with Don Messinger, Deane Howard, Chris Kitchenham or John Meddaugh.

The Committee on Shared Ministry (COSM) (current members Debbie Chase, Bernie Gardner, Betsy Gordon, Ellie Handleman, Marie Miller, and Derek Sulc) want to remind you that we are interested in your feedback regarding how things are going at church. We are here to help if there is a conflict. We’d love to have a conversation about what is going well and what could be improved. We also check the suggestion box (in the form of the “no strings attached” guitar outside the sanctuary) regularly.
